Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event could be confirmed since the device was returned for evaluation and matches the alleged failure mode.The device inspection revealed the following: the tibial tray implant was returned for evaluation.Visual examination of the returned device confirms the catalog and lot number.No visible signs of deformation that would impair the functionality of the implant were found.A tibial tray impaction insert was obtained from the kitting team and used to perform the functional test.The tibial tray impaction insert was unable to be assembled properly with the implant as the insert could not fit into the dovetail slot of the implant.Measurements were taken with a digital caliper and found to be within dimensional specifications.The slot of the implant was also found to be within dimensional accuracy after verifying with a gage pin.Quality assurance engineering performed measurements on the implant and confirmed all dimensions conform to specifications.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.R&d reviewed the received information and noted the following: "based on our discussions on the following points: 1-tibial tray insert (instrument) there were no visible issues detected during the functional test.2-the (3) tibial tray implants used during the functional test also met dimensional specifications.3-the actual tibial tray insert used in the surgery was not returned.4- a second tibial tray implant was able to be used successfully with the tibial tray insert (instrument) used during the actual surgical procedure.My evaluation on what is causing this malalignment is inclusive.I recommend keeping this issue on the pms radar so that if it does happen again, we can get back all the offending parts inhouse for deeper evaluations & examinations." the root cause of the issue could not be conclusively determined.More detailed information about the complaint event must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.If more information is provided, the case will be reassessed.
